It is important to be absolutely clear about what your objective is here, availability, cache-hit-ratio or raw performance, the best solution will depend on what you are after. For a lot of purposes, you will get a lot of mileage out of a number of parallel Varnish machines with DNS round-robin, for all practical purposes, a zero-cost solution. In the other end, you have a load-balancer in front of your varnishes, which gives you all sorts of neat features at a pretty steep cost. The spectrum between is filled with things like pound, haproxy and other open-source solution, which may, or may not, run on their own hardware. There is no "perfect fit for all" solutions in this space, you will need to make your own choice. >Squid has a peering feature; [...] Squids peering feature was created for hit-rate only, the working scenario is two squids each behind a very slow line to the internet, asking each other before they pull down a file. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
